Electric shock

Electric shock, commonly known as "electrocution," occurs when a certain amount of current passes through the human body, causing varying degrees of tissue damage, organ dysfunction, or sudden death. It can be classified into three types: electrical injury, electrical burn, and lightning injury. This condition is more common in adolescent males and those working with electricity. It is more prevalent in summer and autumn, with a high incidence from June to September. The incidence in rural areas is significantly higher than in urban areas. Mild cases may only present with painful muscle contractions, fright, pallor, headache, dizziness, and palpitations. Severe cases can lead to loss of consciousness, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest.
